    Saluting with a coffee cup? Outage.
    Saluting a North Korean general? Meh.

    2 years ago today, Super Tuesday happened.

    Many of the people that were wrong about the primary. Were claiming that a week ago the coming Russian invasion was a hoax.

    Coincidence?

    Biden's approval rating jumps to 47 percent after State of the Union address

    The latest NPR-PBS NewsHour-Marist National Poll found that 47 percent of Americans surveyed approve of the job he is doing as president, which is a jump from the 39 percent approval rating he had in the same poll last month.

    “This is an unusual bounce,” Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, said in a statement. “It gets him back to where he was pre-Afghanistan.”

    Enough of Joe Biden's opponents dropped out just before Super Tuesday and threw their weight behind Biden. If Republicans had done the same maneuver, Trump would not have won his primary.

    I'm going to go with coincidence on whoever predicted both being wrong. But if you thought there was no way Russia would invade Ukraine, hopefully you're showing some humility now.

    If one thought this, they weren't listening to Joe. And just like the candidates that dropped out prior to Super Tuesday and endorsed Biden as the best chance to win the election were right, Biden was right on his warnings.

    While I agree with you on Ukraine we don't have a crystal ball into alternate realities there's no way to know that no one aside from Joe could have barely beaten Trump.

    He beat Trump, that means the folks that dropped out and endorsed him were right. Could another candidate have beaten him? Quite likely. But Joe did, proving them right. That's not to say others couldn't, just that Joe achieved what the goal of the political move was. I don't want to turn this into another Biden vs. Sanders argument since that's been done to absolute death and beating that horse won't get anyone anything.

    The democratic field was quite large aside from a few exceptions there were quite a few could have beaten Trump. That said I am sure the world is a better place because this happened under Biden not Trump. Putin's little lap dog would be running interference right now doing everything he can to help his master.

    As much as I am a Sanders fan and still am. Honestly, at this point, I am actually glad to have Biden for this.

    While Sanders had the better domestic policies and all, I really don't see him as being good for any kind of real international conflict.
    Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add
    "mmo-champion.com##li.postbitignored"
    to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.

    Agree on all points.
    Love Sanders for domestic stuff, but I don't think he'd have a cool level-head to have stare-down contest with Putin.

    Yeah, the man practice what he preaches and has sound policies, but I don't see him winning that stare down, I feel he would likely try and go for peace and end up being too passive and end up being pushed around because of it. I really just don't see it in him to actually get aggressive.

    Like he would be as big of a bitch against Putin as Trump and full on roll over or anything, but he would end up preaching restraint to the grave.

    I am more of a supporter of Warren than Sanders others would have done just fine as well even Sanders. When it comes to international conflict the US government is pretty close to auto pilot unless you are an insane person like Trump was. I think most of the candidates are reasonable people that would listen to good advice.

    I would hope so, because when it comes to enacting policies, I could see someone like Sanders being really good for the nation. But in a conflict, he would be one of the lesser desired options for that job I believe. The best he could do would be to sit back, shut up, and let the generals do their jobs and try to avoid even talking about it himself and always defer to them to say what they needed to.

    Was that before or after unemployment dropped to 3.8%?

    It was 3.5% two years ago and then, um, it..wasn't. Things are largely recovered from Trump's last year in office.

    I haven't delved too deeply into the bill making veterans who are suffering health issues as a result of their exposure to toxic substances during their service, but the vote sure is interesting.

    Yeas: 256 - 222 Democrat, 34 Republican
    Nays: 174, all Republican
    Abstentions: 3, also all Republican

    Did the Republican party abandon the pretense of giving a shit about our veterans?

    They will just do what they always do and claim there's too much pork in the bill or that it costs too much.

    It's not like their supporters will read it, anyway.

    “If you had started sanctions months ago, there would not have been war,” he said during the just under one-hour call, a Senate source told The Post.
    Looks as thought President of Ukraine agrees with me wondering why we did not do sanctions before they were invaded, not afterwards. I guess he is not as smart as you. I bet he wishes he had you there to help him, because you obviously know everything and are smarter then everyone and would have made it so Putin would not have invaded.
